What is a CSA?
At its core, a CSA is a way for consumers to buy local, seasonally fresh food from a farmer directly. Of course, people have been getting produce from local farmers for as long as there have been farms.
Here's how it generally works. A farm offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription"), often well before the growing season. Members receive a CSA box (or bag or basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout that farming season. Some CSAs offer different box sizes to accommodate varying family sizes or individual needs. The customer then picks up their box at a given time and place.
This time last year, we learned that a secure food supply could suddenly become a shortage. Buying from local farms, which have a much shorter supply chain, is a great way to be assured of getting freshly harvested, quality food. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) provides an even better guarantee.
By purchasing a CSA, customers make an early investment to help farmers start their season, giving them seed money. Then, CSA members reap the harvest season's benefits by receiving produce at a discounted price.
